Sun Zhong is not as famous as Bai Yufeng in Lanshan City, but as long as he is alive, there are a few people who do not seek fame and profit.

He has been a housekeeper in Fuhutang for ten years, managing most of Fuhutang's financial income, and at the age of forty, he should make some preparations for the rest of his life.

But not only could he not think about the rest of his life, but he was now out of his control.

In the past ten years, he has used his identity as a housekeeper to take many kickbacks from Fuhutang, and with the trust of everyone in Fuhutang, his behavior has become more and more exaggerated and more and more uncontrollable.

So he fell in love with gambling, he was lavish and often spent money in some casinos, and just a few days ago, he finally paid a heavy price for his actions.

In an underground casino in the city next door to Lanshan City, he lost a full 8,000 taels of gold, but he could only take out more than 1,000 taels after emptying all his family funds, and there was still a gap of more than 6,000 to be filled.

So he found Xiao Yan.

Chunfeng Tang's pills in other towns were basically escorted and delivered by Fuhu Tang, and his relationship with Xiao Yan over the years was deep and righteous.

But this was just his own wishful thinking, Xiao Yan refused Sun Zhong's prayer for various reasons, and under his desperate begging, Xiao Yan asked him to go back and wait for news.

This wait was five days, and he didn't wait for Xiao Yan, but waited for Sun Peng, the military advisor of the City Lord's Mansion.

Gongsun Peng said that as long as he helped him complete one thing, Sun Zhong would not only be able to pay off his gambling debts, but also earn more than enough money for the rest of his life.

Gongsun Peng actually gave him two thousand taels of gold in advance, and after completing the task, he paid him another eight thousand taels of gold.

Desperate, Sun Zhong overcame his psychological barrier and decided to take a risk, and he used the poison given to him by Gongsun Peng to poison the entire forty-three lives of Fuhutang, including the king Wenhu who had single-handedly brought him to Fuhutang.

There is a good saying, don't do bad things during the day, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

The task was completed, but the eight thousand taels that were said had not been delivered to him until now, he didn't dare to go to Gongsun Peng to ask for it, and he couldn't leave Lanshan City, it is said that there were once people who owed a huge gambling debt to the casino and wanted to escape, and in the end this person not only did not escape, but even the relatives around him were poisoned.

So now he can only hide in this small place, and he can't go out of the gate, at least it is relatively safe in Lanshan City.

During the day, he was afraid that the people in the casino would come to force him into debt, and the darkness at night made him even more mentally broken.

He would even hallucinate in extreme fright, and Wang Wenhu and his former brothers would come to him for their lives every midnight when the yin qi was strong!

So he placed a lit candle in every corner of the house, and he bought a large pile of illuminated night pearls with the last bit of money on his body.

At midnight, his house was also as brightly lit as day, and only by feeling the light around him would he not collapse, and only in this way could he increase his sense of security.

But Rao is like this, he will still wake up in the middle of the night because of the sound of insects and frogs, but he has to wait here tangledly, hoping that Gongsun Peng will give him the eight thousand taels of gold in the back.

Two days seemed like twenty years had passed for him, with sunken eyes, dark circles, and a haggard face......

It was the third midnight, and it was as quiet as an abyss outside, and the insects and frogs that he could usually hear seemed to pity him and stopped chirping.

Sun Zhong finally fell asleep in bed, he was so sleepy, he needed a long sleep to barely regain some energy.

But he did not sleep deeply, and there seemed to be the sound of footsteps outside the door, and he immediately jumped up from the bed, and looked around with his eyes wary and frightened.

Suddenly, the brightly lit room suddenly turned into ink-stained black, nine of the ten candles were extinguished, and the four night pearls were shattered one after another, and they completely lost their illuminating effect.

Sun Zhong wrapped his body in the quilt in extreme fright, and the quilt continued to tremble because of his fright, and the wooden bed kept coming from the sound of 'crunching'.

"Sun Zhong, why are you doing this?"

Hearing this voice, Sun Zhong only felt that his soul was out of his body, the hairs on his body stood upside down one by one, and bursts of heat suddenly came from his lower body.

Just because this voice is too familiar to him, after listening to it for ten years, can he not be familiar with it?

At the beginning, he had nothing, and it was Wang Wenhu's generosity that gave him an errand in Fuhu Hall.

It is also because of Wang Wenhu that he was able to achieve the position of manager a few years ago, and it can be said that everything he used to be beautiful was because of Wang Wenhu.

And now he has poisoned his benefactor with his own hands, and his disgust and hatred for himself in his heart, coupled with psychological cowardice and fear.

Now Sun Zhong almost had a hundred emotions appearing on him at the same time, but more of them were terrified, because he was afraid of death.

The quilt lifted from him like the wind, and through the dim light of the candle in the corner, he saw Wang Wenhu's pale face, and several familiar faces behind him.

They are looking at themselves with vicious, hateful, murderous eyes.

"Right...... I'm sorry, I ...... I'm cornered, there's no way, don't kill me...... Don't kill me, okay......"

Sun Zhong rolled off the bed, he had lost even the strength to stand, he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Wang Wenhu, and his forehead hit the ground with a straight sound.

"Sun Zhong, I ask myself that I have regarded you as my own brother for the past ten years, and I have entrusted you with full authority to handle the affairs of Fuhu Hall's accounts, ...... It really disappointed me. ”

Wang Wenhu sighed, his expression was actually normal, and his tone did not change much from usual.

Just because Sun Zhong never dreamed that Wang Wenhu was still alive, he thought that this Wang Wenhu and the people behind him were ghosts who asked him to ask for his life.

The mental breakdown and depression caused him to look at Wang Wenhu everywhere now, and he even felt that Wang Wenhu's body was floating in the air.

"I'm also confused for a while, I beg the hall master to forgive me, I must burn paper for you every day, I burn incense for you every day, just ask the hall master to spare the little one. ”

"Hey......"

Wang Wenhu sighed, Sun Zhong was already cowardly, so Wang Wenhu asked him to be a housekeeper in the hall, and did not let him go out to do darts and darts.

At this moment, Sun Zhong's behavior exposed his greedy character and fear of death at a glance.

"Why are you doing that?"

Sun Zhongyu hurriedly said: "It's Gongsun Peng, it's Gongsun Peng, it's really not me, it's him who asked me to do this, don't care about my business......"

Wang Wenhu said angrily: "At this time, you still want to find someone to prevaricate us, you really don't change!"

Sun Zhong said hurriedly: "No, no, what I said is true, it was Gongsun Peng who asked me to do this, I was really confused for a while." ”

"Gongsun Peng......"

Wang Wenhu seemed to mutter, and the last candle was extinguished, and the whole room was completely plunged into darkness.

There was a deathly silence in the room, Wang Wenhu's clothes and pants were already soaked, his upper body was soaked with sweat, and his lower body was soaked with urine.

I don't know how long it took, a trace of coolness rushed to his heart, and his body kneeling on the ground suddenly became agitated.

I don't know where the strength came from, he suddenly rushed out of the door like crazy, and rushed out of the street......

Outside the house, Bai Yufeng and Wang Wenhu appeared, and said ethereally, "Do this...... Isn't it too cruel, I feel like he's all scared and insane!"

Bai Yufeng said: "Is it cruel, did you think about what you were doing when he was poisoned, besides, scaring him just so that he could go to Gongsun Peng." ”

The ethereal spirit said, "You said he would go to Gongsun Peng?"

Bai Yufeng said: "Of course, let's watch the good show between Gongsun Peng and Xiao Yan next, and it depends on whether Ji Man can seize the opportunity between these two." ”

Since Gongsun Peng asked him to poison everyone in Fuhu Hall, and Xiao Yan asked him to go to Fuhu Hall to get clues, the relationship between the two is naturally self-evident.

Ethereal Spirit didn't quite understand what Bai Yufeng was doing, but there was still anticipation in her eyes, and now at least things had made a lot of progress.

Only Wang Wenhu's expression was complicated, and in the end he could only sigh heavily, and everyone left with heavy emotions.

At this moment, it was the middle of the night, but the building where Gongsun Peng lived was still brightly lit, and from the window, there was more than one person in his house.

If you look through the window and enter the room, you will find that Gongsun Peng and Xiao Yan are having a secret meeting here, and Ji Man is standing behind Xiao Yan like a log, he looks a little thinner than a few days ago, but he is still much more lenient than ordinary people.

Xiao Yan's eyes were worried, and said, "Bai Yufeng didn't go to Fuhu Hall, did you say he found something?"

Gongsun Peng held the wine glass and said, "Impossible, who else knows about this matter except for you and me?" There is only one reason why he didn't go to Fuhu Hall, he doesn't believe your words at all. ”

Xiao Yan smiled faintly and said: "This is also reasonable, otherwise how could he put these two eyes next to me, but he would never have dreamed that he would never think about going back when he came to the people beside me." ”

The two big eyes he said naturally meant Ji Man beside him, Xiao Yan was also an old Jianghu, Bai Yufeng left Ji Man in Xiao Mansion so cheerfully, didn't he just want to use Ji Man to find out useful news by her side?

It's a pity that after several days, she didn't say anything useful to Ji Man at all.

She wanted to make Bai Yufeng have hope, and in the end, this hope was completely shattered.

But it's strange that a few days have passed, and he hasn't heard the slightest movement. ”

Xiao Yan smiled lightly: "Isn't this good, the closer the day gets, the slimmer his hope becomes, and the day when Yufeng Hall will be completely closed is not far away." ”

Gongsun Peng said: "We'd better do this more beautifully, not only to let Yufeng Hall close, but even Bai Yufeng has to ......."

He glanced at Ji Man and didn't say any more, but Ji Man's eyes already flashed with light.

Xiao Yan is really not the real mastermind behind this matter, there are other people's instigation behind her, but who can instruct Xiao Yan and Gongsun Peng?

No one gave him an answer, and of course Xiao Yan and Gongsun Peng would not say this name in front of him.

"Don't worry, Yufeng Hall is not so easy to close, no matter who is behind you, it is definitely not Bai Yufeng's opponent. ”

Although Ji Man has developed limbs, he is not ambiguous at all when he should be smart, but his agitation method has no effect on these two old rivers and lakes.

Xiao Yan's still white and tender right hand stroked Ji Man's strong forearm, and said, "Ji Man, you just have to rest assured, I will definitely tell that person in a few days, but now you are still obedient......"

Before she could finish her words, the door suddenly shook open, and a embarrassed figure with a frightened face almost distorted jumped in.

He didn't care if there was anyone else in the room, without saying a word, he jumped in front of Gongsun Peng and knelt down, he grabbed Gongsun Peng's pants with both hands and hissed: "Military ...... Master Strategist, save ...... Help me, Wang Wenhu, they came to the door, they came to me to ask for their lives, please give me the rest of the gold, I pay back my gambling debts so that I can run for my life!"
